Description
A recipe for Garden Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 (18-ounce) roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  
• 6 large green craft sticks
  
• 1 (16-ounce) can prepared vanilla frosting
  
• Assorted food coloring
  
• 2 (14-ounce each) bags M&M'S Milk Chocolate Candies for Easter
  
• 6 (6-inch) flowerpots or containers
  
• 6 Styrofoam squares or floral oasis

Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Knead cookie dough and flour together until smooth.

2. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out 6 tulip shapes (approximately 4 inches high and 3 inches wide) from dough, and transfer to cookie sheet. Gather up dough scraps and re-roll, if necessary.

3. Slide a craft stick underneath each cookie, and press it into dough. Bake until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer cookie sheet to wire rack.

4. While cookies are cooling, divide vanilla frosting among 4 bowls. Using food coloring, tint to pink, light blue, yellow and pale purple. Spread frosting over each cookie, and arrange chocolate candies on top. Let dry, about 30 minutes.

5. Fill flowerpots with Styrofoam.

6. Press craft sticks into Styrofoam. Arrange green candies around craft sticks.
